Vintage Chateau Musar Blanc 2017
£36.50
Chateau Musar whites are truly unique, produced from some of the oldest vineyard sites in the world dating back to 5,000 BC. Indigenous ancient grape varieties Obaideh and Merwah, reputedly the ancestors of Chardonnay and Semillon are still cultivated from un-grafted vines on original rootstock. The vineyards on the seaward facing slopes were planted between 50 and 90 years ago and are at 1,200 metres above sea level – few vineyards of this calibre and history remain in the world today.
Pale lemon colour in the glass. It reveals aromas of apple, fresh hay with a hint of vanilla and grapefruit citrus notes. The orange flower notes also follow through to the palate with sweet basil, peach and tarte tatin flavours which will develop as the wine ages.
The 2017 vintage looks very promising, it will benefit from decanting and cellaring well, and it will age gracefully for decades.
